  Implementation in the NINA-B30 series 
The requirements on a NINA-B30 design depend on the used radio protocol(s): 
•  The Bluetooth protocol uses 48-bit addressing, no additional effort is needed. 
•  IEEE 802.15.4 based protocols, such as Thread and ZigBee, use (at the MAC layer) a combination 
of  16-  and  64-bit  addresses.  The  16-bit  (‘short’)  address  can  be  used  to  reduce  overhead  in 
communications. However, each device must have a 64-bit (‘extended’) address, and can always 
be  accessed  using  this  address.  Because  of  this  no  additional  effort  is  needed  when  using  an 
802.15.4 based protocol. 
•  Protocols based on the 2.4 GHz proprietary mode do not necessarily follow any standards, so there 
is no guarantee that the 48-bit addressing requirement will be fulfilled. If the end product can be 
connected to, or  accessed through, a  public  network  using  a proprietary  protocol,  it is the  end 
product  manufacturer’s  responsibility  to  make  sure  that  the  protocol  uses  at  least  48-bit 
addressing. 
⚠  Failure to comply with these requirements will void the NINA-B3 Japan certification, and it will be 
illegal to place the end product on the Japanese market. 
  Implementation in the NINA-B31 series 
All  the  radio  communication  protocols  supported  in  the  NINA-B31  series  use  at  least  48  bit  long 
addressing. No further actions are required by the module integrator. 
5.3.3  End product labelling requirement 
When a product integrating a NINA-B3 series module is placed on the Japanese market the product 
must be affixed with a label with the “Giteki” marking as shown in Figure 20. The marking must be 
visible for inspection. 
 
Figure 20: Giteki mark,  R  and the NINA-B3 MIC certification number 
☞  The required minimum size of the Giteki mark is Ø3.0 mm. 
5.3.4  End product user manual requirement 
As the MIC ID is not included on the NINA-B3 series label, the end product manufacturer must include 
a copy of the NINA-B3 Japan Radio Certificate to the end product technical documentation.  
☞  Contact  the  u-blox  support  team  in  your  area  to  obtain  a  copy  of  the  NINA-B3  Japan  Radio 
Certificate.
